Subject: [PATCH v7 19/23] kernel/workqueue: Use dynamic lockdep keys for workqueues
Commit 87915adc3f0a ("workqueue: re-add lockdep dependencies for flushing")
improved deadlock checking in the workqueue implementation. Unfortunately
that patch also introduced a few false positive lockdep complaints. This
patch suppresses these false positives by allocating the workqueue mutex
lockdep key dynamically. An example of a false positive lockdep complaint
suppressed by this report can be found below. The root cause of the
lockdep complaint shown below is that the direct I/O code can call
alloc_workqueue() from inside a work item created by another
alloc_workqueue() call and that both workqueues share the same lockdep
key. This patch avoids that that lockdep complaint is triggered by
allocating the work queue lockdep keys dynamically. In other words, this
patch guarantees that a unique lockdep key is associated with each work
queue mutex.
